 ton. June 10.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.-The del 'sation from Chicago who came here ave succeeded. This makes the con- ecutlve time that city has had the Republican convention. St. Louisiana trove hard for it, but through some atrigue Chicago was the victorious one, rrehaps to it's advantage over other cities in the way Of hotel accommodations ,ad as a good railroad centre. In
 ief speech Chairma an Jones stated the object Of the meeting as follows:
 "Gentleman of the Committee As iated in,the call. this meeting Is for the purpose of selecting time and place fer holding the next Republican na- onal convention; also to consider such sther matters as may properly be brought before it. As everything con nscted. however remotely, with the important. our action to-day may have iar-reaching results. We should, there gre, carefully consider such subjects As may be brought before us that we nay decide wisely. We may congrat- Late ourselves on the improved pros iects Of the Republican party since the iAtional commiite met in this city four ears ago for the same purpose that we are now assembled. Al that time the tle majority against the Republican party in the North al the last pre- eeding general state elections counted up into the hundreds Of thousands. The great states of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio had Demo- cratic governors. New Works elected by nearly ioaOoo plurality, which was reduced for the same candidate, in the presidential election. tO less than loo. Though by accident the Democratic party have the presidency, and the prestige Of success, the signs are aus rlcious for the election of Republi- can president iA lsSs."
 After this the roll was called and ev- cry state and territory with one or two exceptions was represented by a dele gate or proxy. A recess was then talk ea. after which the representatives of the various competitive cities present cd their reasons why the committee .hoaid favor their respective places.
 The committee then proceeded 10 take the formal vote viva yoce. It re- suited as follows:
 For Chicago. n Omaha. 10; Cincin- natl, S; Minneapolis, 6 i; Philadelphia, Q; St Louis. }; Washington. l.
 The committee then proceeded 10 vote formally by ballot, each state or territorial representative stepping up 10 the ehairmah's table as ibe state or territory was called and dePositing his vote in hat The ballots thus de- poslted were counted by two tellers Haynes Of Maine and Conger of OhIo), and the result was afterward announced as follows.

The Fisheries Question.

PORTLAND, ME., Dec. 9.-The Argu- of this morning contains long letter from Hon. T. ". Longley, attorney general of Nova Scotia, On tine rela- lions between Canada and the United States. He says that Canada has in sisted on it's interpretation of the fan cries treaty of ISIS, not because il is & burning question or one of paramount importance to the Dominion. but be cause for the past twenty years the United States has maintained an un- generous position In its trade relation with Canada, and the latter is using the fisheries question as lever to bring about more desirable commercial conditions. He says tho position of congress in passing the retaliatory measure was purely a political one. as not one-tenth of the members of that body or their constituents, were inter ested in the fisheries question. He thinks the United States can put aside pride and prejudlc, in trading with her little northern neighbor. He has little hope that conditions which will lead to mutually advantageous reciprocity can be developed at present.
